It is important not to fear the litigation process in a divorce. You should embrace it. The litigation process is in place to facilitate the resolution of the divorce proceedings. If utilized in the correct way, a divorce can be resolved more cost efficiently by using litigation tools. An experienced divorce attorney knows which tools to use, how to use them and when. The internet is full of fear mongers that might tell you to run from attorneys and try to do it yourself or with a mediator who may or may not be licensed. Here is how the litigation process can help you.
Experienced attorneys can recognize which litigation tools are useful. The courts man the guillotine that moves the process forward. When a couple enters the New York Court litigation process, the first time they will encounter the judge is either during a hearing on an emergency motion or at the preliminary conference where the court issues an Order setting discovery deadlines. Once there is an order in place, the court can enforce the deadlines for exchange of discovery such as financial records, home appraisals and tax returns. These items are not only necessary to prepare for a trial but also to engage in meaningful settlement negotiations.
An experienced attorney can help you strategize your discovery process so that you are better prepared for a mediation. If you enter a mediation before having sufficient knowledge of what assets you are dealing with or if there is a lingering question about whether a party has revealed all their financials, then what is the point of a mediation? There is no point. It is just spinning your wheels. An experienced attorney can help you negotiate your divorce but also obtain all the information you need to enter settlement negotiations and help you choose a good mediator.
An experienced attorney can help set realistic expectations for what you can accomplish at different stages of your divorce. Sometimes you need the litigation process to wear down the parties so that they are more realistic about what they will get. For example, motion practice before a Judge can help the parties see whether the Judge will be receptive to certain aspects of their case such as the amount of spousal support they should get or whether the Judge will be more likely to grant joint custody verses sole custody. An experienced attorney can help you test those waters.

During the Memorial Day weekend at the Theater for the New City in the Lower East Side of Manhattan here in New York City, an artist who thought she found love but ended up buying a bag off Canal Street named Sophia Gutchinov, gave a preview of her one woman show that the theater resident of La MaMa is currently working on, with the working title, “Sophia”, giving us an idea about the mirage that’s unfortunately love sometimes in precious fake items posing as famous names without absolute verification. The soloist play is a multimedia work told through ceremony and the discovery of one’s roots.

Enter “Sophia”, whose Mongolian and Italian roots run deep, with absolute love and trauma, “Sophia” uses her Mongolian warrior-like philosophy and culture to tell the story about her journey of finding love, and how it all turned out to be just a fake handbag made at a nearby factory, posing as a Louis Vuitton; love can come in all forms, it can be at the truest sense, a superficial love, or a deep understanding of each other, but love can end up just a mirage, which “Sophia” unfortunately experienced.

Much like buying a Louis Vuitton bag on Canal Street, it’s not real, which “Sophia” used to compare her love dilemma, “Sophia” fell in love with a guy despite there apparently being red flags, “Sophia” gets excited about this guy wanting to get to know her more, but encounters push back from the guy she thinks she’s in love with, “Sophia” keeps giving the guy the benefit of the doubt, but sees through his lying story of no MTA trains going into Manhattan, just by knowing what’s running on the MTA, though “Sophia” appreciates the guy’s honesty of not being in proper love space, her love lets her down again.

Finally, “Sophia” has enough, as time go by, and a brand-new phone enters “Sophia’s” life, “Sophia” wonders who’s texting her when her supposed love of her life re-emerges after ghosting “Sophia”, “Sophia” has no clue who it is, she then says it’s the guy she met on the app, “Sophia” reiterates to her love turned sham that he ghosted her, dropped off the face of the Earth, then challenges her former fake love to meet her up at a rooftop bar to talk, “Sophia” says the guy doesn’t know what he wants, but delivers him an ultimatum about meeting her, or just losing her number for good.

Sophia Gutchinov is an accomplished actress and artist who currently has a theater residency at La MaMa Experimental Theatre, her work includes sketch comedy in “How to New York”, and a workshop of the La MaMa theater piece that expresses Sophia’s frustration with love back in April 2022, which Daniel Plus Lauren saw and wrote about.
“Sophia” (Working Title) is a prelude to a full-fledged one woman show Sophia Gutchinov is working on with La MaMa Experimental Theater, you can donate to support Sophia’s show by clicking on the link here.

Anthony Rubio Designs: Establish in 2003
New York, NY (May 30, 2023)
In 2013, Pet Couturier Anthony Rubio started recreating for dogs the looks that graced the red carpet of The Met Gala to much acclaim. What originally started out as a photo project, this year the designer wanted to do something different. To hold an in person invite only presentation to showcase his work up close. The ultimate goal is in 2024 to hold a full sit down meal event with red carpet, runway show and performances with a charity aspect to it. It will be his signature event. Over the years, Anthony Rubio’s charity base runway shows have raised over four million dollars for animal shelters and rescue groups.
Recreated looks presented at The Pet Gala include looks worn by Doja Cat, Jared Letto, Rihanna, Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, Salma Hayek, Bad Bunny, Dua Lipa, Diddy, Naomi Campbell and Emily Blunt.
Pet Models:
Kimba, a Chihuahua as Jared Leto (Choupette, the Cat)
I have always been obsessed with fashion ever since I could remember. So when I first learned of the Met Gala events way back when, I never missed the opportunity to sit in front of the television (where you got the best views) to witness the parade of celebrities chosen by top designers to grace the red carpets modeling the creations to fit, or not, the themes of that particular gala.
Kimba a Chihuahua as Jared Leto as Choupette, the Cat (Photo by Hideki Aono)
Zoom to become the Pet Couturier. I challenged myself to recreate the favorites of what I witnessed on that red carpet only that it would be for dogs using my Chihuahuas Bogie and Kimba as my muses. I actually did it to entertain myself but a photographer friend asked to immortalize those designs. We put them out in the social media and before we knew it, publications, bloggers, and influencers took notice. Soon my creations were seen on television programs and reports both locally and internationally.
Bitsy a Yorkie as Emily Blunt (Photo by Angelina Gorbea)
As an advocate for animal rescue and pet adoption I have, from the start, used the platform afforded me through my fashion design career to bring awareness to the plight of those who needed a voice to speak for them. When my Met Gala recreations became news I decided that I wanted to create an event similar to the Met Gala to raise funds for Animal rescue and who better to help me than actual rescues as models.
Layla, a Shichon as Naomi Campbell (Photo by Hideki Aono)
This year I chose to create this inaugural event completely financed out of pocket to show that I could do this and with success in hopes to garner sponsors, donors, and supporters for what I plan to be an annual event, the first of its kind. Like the actual Met Gala, I would like to have the Pet Gala happen at a museum complete with an exhibit and of course that procession of guests, (cats and dogs) modeling couture creations for a worthy cause.
Gizmo, a Shih Tzu as P. Diddy (Photo by Hideki Aono)
This year the theme, as was with the Met Gala, was a celebration of the late great legend, Karl Lagerfeld. I enjoyed recreating the most standout creations of the recent Met Gala and hope they have moved and enticed everyone into wanting more. I invite anyone interested in helping to make this happen again to reach out. Let’s make this happen in a big way to make a huge difference in saving lives in a fashionable way.
